JRuby 1.7.6 Released

Tuesday, October 22 2013

The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.7.6

JRuby 1.7.6 is our sixth update release since JRuby 1.7.0. The primary goal of 1.7 point releases is to fill out any missing compatibility issues with Ruby 1.9.3. The community participation lately has been great. Keep reporting issues and sending pull requests.

This release was a quick followup release to 1.7.5. Our main priority is working on our next major version of JRuby, but we want to maintain a partial focus on continuing to fix bugs for JRuby 1.7.x. A faster release cycle for JRuby 1.7.x will help motivate us to keep fixing bugs on our maintenance branch. Expect a new release about every 3 weeks
